My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

  • Night before:
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry.
  • Mix salts, garlic powder and black pepper together.
  • Liberally rub outside of chicken with salt mixture, then put the remaining salt mixture inside of the chicken cavity. Don't be afraid of the salt! Remember, we want the bird seasoned all the way through! I promise that it wont be salty. You may even want to use extra salt in the cavity, especially if you are using kosher salt.
  • Put into a plastic bag and chill in fridge overnight. The longer the better.
  • Day Of:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 f.
  • Put butter, lemon and garlic into cavity. You can also use herbs, onion etc.
  • Pat outside of chicken dry, then rub the chicken with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning on all sides. (Makes it really pretty when done).
  • Place chicken in a roaster with a rack breast side up.
  • Bake uncovered for approx 20 min per pound, or until thermometer in thickest part of thigh is between 175 to 180 degrees f.
  • DO NOT OVERCOOK!
  • Remove bird from oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes, the longer the rest time, the jucier the chicken gets, so do not skip this step! It wont be juicy if it doesn't rest!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is plump and has no bruises or tears in the skin.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: Before roasting the chicken, make sure it is completely dry. This will help the skin to crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the chicken. You can also add a little bit of oil or butter to help the seasoning stick.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender.

Conclusion:

Roasting a chicken is a simple and delicious way to cook a meal. By following these tips, you can create a roasted chicken that is juicy, flavorful, and crispy. Whether you are cooking for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, roasted chicken is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
